Ralph has made incredible progress. He’s been working with me for about 2 and a half years, and I couldn’t be more proud!
Ralph is 70 years old and originally from South Africa. He’s been living in the US for 45 years and he feels that it is the best thing that has happened for him and his wife. He is a retired Travel Agent who specialized in Safaris to Africa. He volunteers at South Miami Hospital and Miami International Airport where he runs the military lounge. Life has been good for Ralph and “very very delicious.”
About 2 1/2 years ago, Ralph was recommended to LyonStrong by one of his wife’s co-workers at South Miami Hospital. She was a member of the gym at that time. He sees her periodically around the hospital and tells her how grateful he is that she introduced him to Lyonel.
The interesting thing is that Lyonel had car trouble the day he was supposed to meet with Ralph at the gym, so he called Ralph and told him he would go to his house, but Ralph said “no thank you”, because he was upset that lyonel didn’t show up in the first place. However, Lyonel insisted, and showed up at his house anyway. And that was enough to convince Ralph that Lyonel was for real.
Ralph is proof that even while aging, you can maintain and even lose weight. As we get older, it is harder to lose weight. He was most concerned about maintaining his weight and losing the little bit of weight he had previously gained. With consistency and patience he has made his goals a reality!
Now, Ralph feels stronger and most importantly, he feels better about himself. His kids tell him every single week how grateful they are that he shows up at the gym religiously – he never misses.
Ralph feels like LyonStrong is not like the other gyms out there that are full of machines and you’re on your own. He says that on occasion, he’s doing an exercise at LyonStrong, and Lyonel will scream from the other side of the gym, “Change your feet around, wrong foot! No, the other foot! I said, the other foot!” – Yup! That sounds about right! 😂
Ralph feels much happier now than he was before since he is no longer putting on weight, and really likes the fact that he has maintained his weight loss. He feels truly happy and his family is so delighted.
Ralph loves the fact that LyonStrong is more about strengthening than it is about cardio. You’re not just going to hack it on a treadmill or an elliptical. He says that the LyonStrong trainers will make you stronger and build your body mass.
“I would recommend LyonStrong without any hesitation whatsoever. It’s a great place to be.” – Ralph Balkin
